That's possible, but I haven't been able to find any objective sources supporting the claim. (The only places I've found this claim are sites...
This is a tempting explanation, but remember, nobody knew that germs existed until the 19th century. Brass has been widely used for millennia...
The auction was up for one minute and 14 seconds. There wasn't time for anybody to be put off. List a lot of any 90% silver at a BIN price even...
...which brings us back to 1933 and 1965, right?

I had thought about this same question for a while, and the year I'd picked was 1928 -- it picks up the most beautiful nickel, dime, quarter and...
I just noticed that the numbers in an eBay feedback listing page are now clickable links! If you click on (say) the number of negative feedbacks,...
I think she got the better end of the deal. She's got one more silver half, and one less pack of cigs, both of which constitute net gains. :)
It makes that lovely sound. :)
Heh. I see that Jane Pierce is "out of stock" at APMEX. On the other hand, I also don't see a "buy price" for that issue. I guess the best...
It's pretty hard for me to prove things like this to myself, because I've still got so very far to go in developing my "eye" for flaws and damage....
Forgive me for nitpicking here, but I'm a bit of a lighting geek, and I can't help myself. :) I'm guessing that most good numismatic references...
I'd first seen it as "Not Issued For Circulation", which seems more descriptive to me. "Intent" is fuzzy -- who didn't intend for them to be...
What in the world do they use to strike it?!!?
Yep, if you hang out enough in the Buy It Now listings, you occasionally get a real steal. Some of them turn out to be bogus -- there was one guy...
Why would they melt a $5 numismatic item to get maybe 25 cents worth of copper?
$165.60 for 69 dimes? That's precisely 2.4x face, by my calculation -- and a good rate, given that current melt is around 2.45x face. I'm not...
Current melt value is $12.41. The cleaning/polishing destroyed any numismatic value, but it's one of the most common dates anyhow -- even if it...
That 1937 half in the second shot looks outstanding! The half at the right of the first shot also looks promising, but we'd need a closer shot to...
BTW, you can Report This Item as Fraudulent. If they've really sold 90-odd of them already, that's 90-odd transactions that eBay and PayPal will...
